Pianist Beata Bilinska and violinist Patrycja Piekutowska have emerged as a team of youthful energy, extraordinary versatility, and a broad repertoire with special strengths in modern classical music. Having both collaborated extensively with Krzysztof Penderecki, they are without doubt the leading interpreters of his Second Violin Sonata, having worked closely with him on this massive score, one that demands both exceptional sensitivity and extreme virtuosity. Bilinska and Piekutowska teamed up under the DUX label for the 2004 CD, "Krzysztof Penderecki, Violin & Piano Works", which won a Pizzicato Excellentia and Supersonic Award at the International Phonographic Competition in Luxembourg, and then for their most recent (2006) CD, "20th–Century Polish Music for Violin & Piano", featuring works by Bacewicz, Lutoslawski and Szymanowski.
